TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF WYNDHAM STREET

A section of Wyndham Street between On Lan Street and Queen's

Read Central will be closed to all traffic from 7.50 a,m, to about

6.45 p.m. on Sunday (November 18) and the same period again on Sunday

(November 25).

Announcing this today, a spokesman for the Transport Department

said the temporary closure is to enable the Hong Kong Electric Co. Ltd.

to move a 42-ton transformer from On Lan Street to Tin Chong Street.

Only vehicles seeking access to Wellington Street will be permitted

to enter Wyndham Street during this period.

All other traffic will be diverted east into Lower Albert Road,

Motorists are advised that due to the weight of the load, the

transporting vehicle is extremely slow and will require about 15 minutes

to cross Queen's Road Central from Wyndham Street into Pedder Street.

East and westbound traffic flow along Queen's Road Central will

therefore be stopped for about 15 minutes from about 6 p.m. on those

two days.

Appropriate signs will be in position to assist motorists.
